3-dimensional Versus 2-dimensional Laparoscopy of Ovarian Cyst (LOOC)

March 12, 2019 updated by: Taejong Song, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital

3-dimensional Versus 2-dimensional Laparoscopy Of Ovarian Cyst (LOOC): a Randomized Controlled Trial

Lack of depth perception and spatial orientation are drawbacks of laparoscopic surgery. The advent of the three-dimensional (3D) camera system enables surgeons to regain binocular vision. The aim of this study was to gain subjective and objective data to determine whether 3D systems are superior to two-dimensional (2D) systems in terms of surgical outcomes.

Detailed Description

Elective laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is established as the treatment of choice for benign ovarian cysts. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over conventional open surgery are less pain, shorter recovery time, shorter hospital stay, and consequently faster return to normal activity as well as better cosmetic effects. However, laparoscopic surgery is more challenging compared with open surgery, partly because surgeons must operate in a three-dimensional (3D) space through a two-dimensional (2D) projection on a monitor, which results in loss of depth perception and consequently more cognitive workload on the surgeon. In traditional 2D laparoscopic procedures, the surgeon has to mentally transform and process the 2D image into a 3D image using motion parallax through movement of the laparoscope, relative position of instruments, and shading of light and dark. During the past 3 decades, 3D imaging systems have been introduced in and attempt to improve in-depth perception and spatial orientation during minimally invasive surgery. The anticipated advantages for the surgeon are greater accuracy and speed in manual skills, translating to decreased operative time, a reduced learning curve, and enhanced safety.

Nevertheless, studies, to date, examining the potential advantages and disadvantages of 3D versus 2D imaging systems have produced contradictory results. Moreover, there have been no studies exploring the advantage of 3D imaging system in patients undergoing laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. The aim of this study was to gain subjective and objective data to determine whether 3D imaging systems in the treatment of ovarian cyst are superior to 2D systems in terms of surgical outcomes.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Operative blood loss
Time Frame: At the time of surgery
Operative blood loss was measured by the anesthesiologists after defining it as the difference between the total amount of suction and irrigation plus the difference between the total gauze weight before and after surgery.
At the time of surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
physical demand
Time Frame: At the time of surgery
The physical demand was evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 using the question of "How physically demanding was the task?" High score means high physical demand. Low score means low physical demand.
At the time of surgery
mental demand
Time Frame: At the time of surgery
The mental demand was evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 using the question of "How mentally demanding was the task?" High score means high mental demand. Low score means low mental demand.
At the time of surgery
visually induced motion sickness (VIMS)
Time Frame: At the time of surgery
The vision-induced motion sickness (VIMS) was assess using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ), in which higher score indicates worse sickness. The maximum and minimum score of SSQ are 48 and 0 points.
At the time of surgery
